Notes / Commercial Description:
A California-style IPA with a Belgian twist
AKA Stone Cali-België IPA
First Release:
September 2008
Stone Cali-Belgique IPA features a complex and surprising combination of flavors, but behind the fancy title is the simply delicious Stone IPA. The addition of a carefully selected strain of Belgian yeast adds banana and spice notes to the hoppy brightness of our flagship IPA. Think of it as an otherwise identical twin to Stone IPA that was raised in a Belgian culture. Literally.

A 22 ounce bomber poured into a shaker pint glass.
Appearance - Bright yellow color. Hazy. Fine, minimal head. Good stickage.
Smell - Lemony scent with a mild whiff of Belgium sour. A beer with a big nose!
Taste - Citrus rinds. Crisp hops. Herbs. Mild Belgium sour note.
Mouth - Tangy. Fizzy. The mouth, like everything else about this beer, is prominent.
Overall - The beer is 2/3 California IPA and 1/3 Belgian sour. The result is one fine ale! Stone is to be commended for combining these diverse elements into one bottle.

In my opinion, this is a near perfect beer that pairs with all kinds of food and drinks well on its own.
The name says it all: Belgian-style IPA. Stone does so many beers so well, especially West Coast IPAs. Match that with Belgian yeast and you've got a whole new take on it.
One of my favorite beers of all-time that also happens to be readily available, and relatively affordable. Can't beat that.
